Analog Clock - won't chime

1

I’m a relative newbie so you may have to talk real slow…

Two problems here,

  1. I’ve been working on an analog clock tutorial and decided that I want it to chime on the hour - ya know 3 chime for when the hour hand reaches the frame for three o’clock ect… But the hour hand movie clip has a stop action in the first frame that keeps the hands from rotating too fast, and that in turn (I think)
    prevents the chime sound from playing at the correct frames for each hour. I’m pretty sure this can be resolved using action script - but I’ve no idea how to do it.

  2. The first frame of the clock movie begins with all the hands at the 12 o’clock position - but I don’t want the clock chiming 12 times every time it starts - only at midnite or noon.

BTW this clock will be part of a screensaver that I’m working on - so size really isn’t an issue.

Thanks,
Dave
